Holiday Home Rental Description
The recently refurbished chateau is well situated in a calm and rural setting, less than 10km from the Landing beaches and a few minutes from Omaha Beach Golf. Chateau Normandie offers the perfect opportunity to relax and discover Normandy’s treasures.
Situated in Normandy, in the Calvados region, on the edge of the Natural Park of Cotentin and Bessin Marshes, Le Chateau Normandie was built in the 15th century and has belonged to the same family since 1650.
This impressive and tastefully restored Henri IV Château is set in 6 acres of grounds with vast open spaces in a quiet environment just a few minutes from the sandy beaches of Normandy. The two remaining wings of this ancient fortress open out onto a landscaped garden which in turn extends onto open fields. An enclosed garden to the side of the château offers quiet shady areas, an attractive vegetable patch, a small decorative pond, a full size bocci court, and part of the original moat where boating is possible (small rowing boat supplied).
The accommodation is best suited to groups of adults and children as the property is made of 6 bedrooms in total (4 in the main le Château and 2 separate self catering apartments, la Pommeraie and le Loft) with 5 double beds and 8 single beds (4 of them situated in the apartments’ living rooms).
